|| About : Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps Solutions


The course AZ-400T00-A: Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps solutions offers IT professionals a thorough educational path to improve their proficiency with Microsoft technologies in DevOps techniques. The main goal of this course is to teach participants how to effectively integrate people, procedures, and technologies in order to consistently offer valuable goods and services that satisfy customer demands and organizational goals. Students will investigate a range of DevOps topics, including application infrastructure, continuous feedback, source control, continuous integration, continuous delivery, and dependency management. The course consists of hands-on, practical laboratories that enable students to apply the concepts they have learnt to real-world situations. After completing the course, students will be prepared to sit for the Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert test. They will learn how to manage infrastructure, create a safe CD pipeline, use Azure Repos, Azure Pipelines, and DevOps techniques. Aside from managing infrastructure as code with Azure and Desired State Configuration (DSC), advanced topics covered in the course include defining and implementing a dependency management strategy. In order to enhance deployment frequency and product quality while maintaining a safe and compliant environment, businesses wishing to adopt DevOps methods must attend this course. It is also essential for IT professionals hoping to further their careers in the DevOps domain.
